You’re Invited to an Evening of Art, Community, and Inspiration!

Join us for an extraordinary evening at Art Changes Lives. This year, we come together to reflect on the pathways that artists take throughout their journey with CE - from their early inspirations to their current creative expressions. 

You’re part of our journey. Join us as we celebrate the CE community and the many paths that our artists take - as creators and individuals. Your support makes so much possible. 

You’ll have the opportunity to meet and support emerging young talents, seasoned creators, and everyone in between at the most joyful party of the year.
